Green and More Green Necklaces

[takingbackmycloset]

These green necklaces are making me crazy.  I pick them up, test, research, lay them down.   I've attempted to figure them out 3 or 4 times and fall short.  Can someone please help me cross these off my undecided list?   Your help is always very much appreciated.

The light green strand is glass, marked Jonne, Schrager c 1960. I thought maybe an agate but should agates read higher than glass?

The small round strand may be a dyed dark teal turquoise? 

The chip strand, may be malachite or aventurine?

The chip strand is Malachite.  No doubt about it.  Can you get a close up pic of the other strand?  I might be able to help with that also.

Agree with malachite, and the blue looks like dyed Fossil Stone, which was big in the  80s and 90s.

What do the round green beads feel like, glass, stone or plastic?

Hi.  They are smooth and cold,  test as glass.  Part of a set, double strand necklace and bracelet with clip on earrings.  Research shows they are between1959 and 1962 as they are marked Jonne.  Here is another pic.

Thank you.  I wasn't sure which one you wanted a pic of so here's one of each.

The bottom one  (not the green glass) is the one I wanted a close up of.  Still can't tell.  Could be a dyed turquoise or could be dyed Fossil Stone, as someone else pointed out.  Really can't tell from that pic.  Sorry

It's hard enough to determine a stone with it in hand and even harder based on a picture, especially with my limited photography skills.  They are dyed something, so I think I'm safe referencing both fossel stone / turquoise.  2 of 3 ID's is better than I started with. Thank you so very for your help.  

Does anyone has a suggestion on the light green strand?  Maybe an agate?

[lgbaz]

I thought you said the light green strand was glass?  I'm confused now (but that is not difficult to do)!  🙂

[takingbackmycloset]

Yes, they are glass.  I'm still figuring out if any other stones fall in the glass range.  I was thinking glass and agates were about the same hardness.  Still learning so be kind.      Right now, I know just enough to be very, very dangerous.  I'm been looking for a cheat sheet to use with my gemstone tester but so far, I'm piecing information together as I run across it.

You might try searching Peking glass jewelry for the green beads.  I think Jonne may have used it in some of their pieces.

Thank you Dream.  While looking up Peking glass, I ran across the milkywayjewelry site.  So even though I keep getting sidetracked, I identified another set I have from a 1958 Trifari ad on the milkyway page.  That page has old ads from several designers and lots of old family photographs that show lots of old jewelry.  My brain is on overload but I'm having a blast!
